If there is a life after this one, he said, let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.

Wherever we are, we are as one

As the carriage whipped forward, they passed the alley she had spent so many days staring at—it was there, and then gone as they careened around a corner, nearly knocking over a costermonger pushing a...

I’ve mastered many things in my life. Navigating the strets of London, dancing the quadrille, the Japanese art of flower arranging, lying at charades, concealing a highly intoxicated state, delighting young women with my charms…

–Entonces estás muriendo por amor, –dijo Will finalmente, su voz sonaba estrangulada a sus propios oídos. –Muriendo un poco más rápido por amor. Y hay cosas peores por las que morir.

Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?

Do you even really know how vampires are made?”Well, when a mommy vampire and a daddy vampire love each other very much…

If you’ve reached this message that means our boy Simon is out partying. But please don’t fight among yourselves. There’s always enough Simon to go around.” There was a muffled yell, some laughter, and then...

Simon,” Isabelle interrupted, “you’re talking like a nerd.”She said it almost fondly, but it freaked Simon out more. “And I don’t know how to be smooth, sexy vampire Simon for you, either!”Isabelle’s perfect mouth curved,...

It was a little sexy, Simon said. He felt much better, having fed, and couldn’t help but poke at Alec a bit. It wasn’t, said Alec. I had some feelings, said Simon.

Simon had never noticed before, but she wore a silver ring on her right hand, with a partner of flames around the band of it, and a carved L in the center. It reminded him...

I am one of the Clave. It’s in my blood and bones. So tell me, if you’re so sure this wasn’t my fault, why is it that the first thought in my mind when I...

Riječi su bile oružje,otac ga je tomu naučio,a on je želio povrijediti Clary više nego što je ikada želio povrijediti bilo koju djevojku.Zapravo,nije bilo načisto je li ikada prije želio povrijediti neku djevojku.Obično ih je...

Jace threw his hands up. “So it doesn’t work.””Not necessarily,” Luke said. “There might simply be nothing going on that might activate it. Perhaps there isn’t anything here that Alec is afraid of.”Magnus glanced at...

I have not stopped loving her, nor my parabatai; love does not stop when someone dies.

I would rather insult you than lose you, he said, and before any of them could make a move to stop him, he cast both items into the fire.

Faith,” said Jem. “That you were better than you thought you were. Forgiveness, that you need not always punish yourself. I always loved you, Will. Whatever you did. And now I need you to do...

Will interrupted. “Henry,” he said, “you’re on fire. You do know that, don’t you?

We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.

That does it,” said Jace. “I’m going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year.””Why?” Isabelle said.”So you can look up ‘fun.’ I’m not sure you know what it means.

Going round and around inside a dryer can be fatal, whereas pasta is rarely fatal. Unless Isabelle makes it.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.

Church was doing what he often did when dropped – lying on his back with all four legs in the air, pretending to be dead in order to induce guilt in his owners.

I cannot explain love. I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment...

Though Alec had never seen the occupants of the first floor loft, they seemed to be engaged in a tempestuous romance. Once there had been a bunch of someone’s belongings strewn all over the landing...

When did you two get so buddy-buddy? Last night it was all, ‘I’m the most elite warrior!’ ‘No, I’m the most elite warrior!’ And today you’re playing Halo and giving each other props for good...

Now that she had worn other faces, seen through other eyes, how could she ever say any face was really her own, even if it was the face she had been given at birth? When...

What do you want?””Just coffee. Black – like my soul.

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite

Hugo attacked me.” Clary tried not to wince as the astringent liquid stung her wounds.Hugo?” Luke blinked.Hodge’s bird. I think it was his bird, anyway. Maybe it was Valentine’s.”Hugin,” Luke said softly. “Hugin and Munin...

There were some memories, though, that never faded.

Magnus threw the monkey a fig. The monkey took the fig.”There,” said Magnus. “Let us consider the matter settled.”The monkey advanced, chewing in a menacing fashion.”I rather wonder what I am doing here. I enjoy...

It was at first almost as if he hadn’t wanted to kiss her. His mouth was hard on hers, unyielding; then he put both arms around her and pulled her against him. His lips softened....

In Will’s experience, when someone who ought to be afraid wasn’t, the reason was rarely bravery. Usually it meant that they knew something you didn’t.

Don’t.” Clary raised a warning hand. “I’m not really in the mood right now.””That’s got to be the first time a girl’s ever said that to me,” Jace mused.

She pulled away. “That doesn’t make any sense.””Neither does this,” he said, “but I don’t care. I’m sick of trying to pretend I can live without you. Don’t you understand that? Can’t you see it’s...

But they love each other,” Clary said, appalled. “Isn’t that what love means? That you’re supposed to be there for the other person to turn to, no matter what?”Luke looked toward the river, at the...

Valentine!””You mean father. I despise this modern habit of calling one’s parents by their names.””What I want to call you is a hell of a lot more unprintable than your name.”- Clary Fray and Valentine...

Well, I’m certainly not Ragnor Fell the exotic dancer.

Keeping demons from this world is your mandate, a mandate from heaven. And a mandate from heaven isn’t something you can just ignore.

then so am I.

Llegaste a mi vida y de repente tuve una verdad a la que aferrarme: que yo te amaba y tú me amabas.

I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider.

Sweet pea?'” Alec said.”I was just trying it out.”Alec shook his head. “No.”Magnus shrugged. “I’ll keep at it.

I’m tired of watching you be in love with someone else someone who will never love you back, not the way I do.

I don’t remember ordering the bride of an evil maniac,” said Magnus. “It was definitely beef and broccoli. What about you, Tessa? Did you order the bride of an evil maniac?

Come with me.””Come with you? To Pandemonium? To the Void? And here I thought that my invitation to summer in New Jersey was the worst I had ever received.

She seemed shy, yet all her attention was focused on Magnus, as if he were the most fascinating thing she had ever seen. There was no man who did not want to see himself reflected...

–,Piensas que hay una oportunidad para él? –,Una oportunidad para quién? –Will Herondale. De que sea feliz.
